When waxing nostalgic about five-year-old reality distortion fields, one should always remember to break out Thread 500:

"Great just what the world needs, another freaking MP3 player."

wow! thanks for the links!

Just right click! http://media.libsyn.com/media/ues/2001-10-23iPodIntro20012.flv

If not, go to the Yahoo search results and right click (Google doesn't seem to want to parse .flv files): http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.libsyn.com%2Fmedia%2Fues%2F2001-10-23iPodIntro20012.flv&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8

Then convert using everyone's favorite free app: iSquint www.isquint.org

is there any way to save these videos to the hard drive for posterity?

I second Tim. I imagine Mike doesn't use safari. It doesn't just have a blinking ad (which is tolerable), somehow it blends in with the background of the page and so the entire page blinks. It's awful!

@ Shreedhan:

Apple still uses that location for smaller press events. It's a presentation area that's actually on Apple's campus.

That stage was used to introduce the Core Solo/Duo Mac mini and the iPod HiFi back in February of this year.

Timothy, you need adblock bro
:)

Holy crap, alright TUAW, you guys need to get rid of that flashing "You've won a laptop" ad on the right side. It's freakin' annoying as all hell!

U can see apple have moved up in the world. It looks like that was filmed in a high school hall and now they book out huge places! Go Åππ¬´

Is that Mark Cuban in the audience at 21:27 on the video?
